Haunted River Songtext
von Brian Setzer

With that cold New England wind blowin′ through my hair
As my blood and whisky run through me as one
Didn't anybody hear her silent scream?
Didn′t anybody see his twisted grin?

All the neighbours wept and cried by the shallow grave
And her momma prayed the Lord her soul to take, yeah
And her daddy stood alone, he swore revenge
And the haunted river flowed with blood again


Late one night he crossed
The river by himself
The waters surged to reach for him through the night
And the storm raged on and on
On, and on, and on, and on, yeah

Everybody wondered what ever happened to
The old Reverend Brown who preaches Sunday mass
And the sea turned calm and blue by the ocean's door
And the haunted river flowed with blood no more, yeah
